TL;DR: In this article, Nanocrystalline transition metal oxides (NTMOs) have been successfully prepared by three different methods: novel quick precipitation method, surfactant mediated method and reduction of metal complexes with hydrazine as reducing agent (Mn2O3).
Abstract: Nanocrystalline transition metal oxides (NTMOs) have been successfully prepared by three different methods: novel quick precipitation method (Cr2O3 and Fe2O3); surfactant mediated method (CuO), and reduction of metal complexes with hydrazine as reducing agent (Mn2O3). The nano particles have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) which shows an average particle diameter of 35 – 54 nm. Their catalytic activity was measured in the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP). AP decomposition undergoes a two step process where the addition of metal oxide nanocrystals led to a shifting of the high temperature decomposition peak toward lower temperature. The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of AP and catalyzed AP has also been evaluated using model fitting and isoconversional method.

TL;DR: In this article, a coprecipitation method was used to obtain the average particle size by using Scherrer's equation for BTMF nanocrystals of formula MFe2O4 (M=Cu, Co, Ni) and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
Abstract: Binary transition metal ferrite (BTMF) nanocrystals of formula MFe2O4 (M=Cu, Co, Ni) were prepared by the coprecipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD patterns gave average particle size by using Scherrer's equation for CuFe2O4 (CuF), CoFe2O4 (CoF), and NiFe2O4 (NiF) as 39.9, 27.3, and 43.8 nm, respectively. The catalytic activity measurements on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) were carried out by using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and ignition delay studies. Isothermal TG data up to a mass loss of 45% have been used to evaluate kinetic parameters by using model fitting as well as isoconversional method. The order of catalytic activity was found to be:

TL;DR: Yogurt (prepared from buffalo's milk) samples treated with anise volatile oil and its oleoresin (ethanol) at varying concentrations were stored up to 20 days at 4 − 1C as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Yogurt (prepared from buffalo's milk) samples treated with anise volatile oil and its oleoresin (ethanol) at varying concentrations (01–10 g/L) were stored up to 20 days at 4 ± 1C The physicochemical and microbiological qualities of yogurt samples were analyzed at 5-day interval during storage A gradual increase in acidity and syneresis was observed, whereas a decline in pH and total solid contents was noted in all the samples The studies revealed that incorporation of essential oil and oleoresin of anise at 10 g/L concentration is quite effective in controlling the growth of spoilage microorganisms in yogurt The results also suggest that the addition of anise volatile oil and oleoresin has no adverse effect on the physicochemical properties of yogurt PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Essential oils and oleoresins of anise can be used as food preservatives for yogurt

TL;DR: The use of nitrogen containing anions and cations contributes to high heats of formations and high densities as discussed by the authors, which makes them very promising candidates for highly energetic materials for industrial or military applications.
Abstract: Energetic salts offer many advantages over conventional energetic molecular compounds. The use of nitrogen containing anions and cations contributes to high heats of formations and high densities. Their low carbon and hydrogen content gives rise to a good oxygen balance. The decomposition of these compounds is predominantly through the generation of dinitrogen which makes them very promising candidates for highly energetic materials for industrial or military applications.

TL;DR: The aim of the current work is to give an overview on the use of natural compounds in food sector, and to gather numerous case-studies of meat, fish, dairy products, minimally processed fruit and vegetables, and cereal-based products where these compounds found application.
Abstract: In agreement with the current trend of giving value to natural and renewable resources, the use of natural antimicrobial compounds, particularly in food and biomedical applications, becomes very frequent. The direct addition of natural compounds to food is the most common method of application, even if numerous efforts have been made to find alternative solutions to the aim of avoiding undesirable inactivation. Dipping, spraying and coating treatment of food with active solutions are currently applied to product prior to packaging as valid options. The aim of the current work is to give an overview on the use of natural compounds in food sector. In particular, the review will gather numerous case-studies of meat, fish, dairy products, minimally processed fruit and vegetables and cereal-based products where these compounds found application.
